Fat eyes
Post: 1
Posted Sep 19, 2002 by NAITA (Join ViTAL - A1014625)
I had a quote from somewhere (can't remember where now groan ) about fat being somehow responsible for green eyes. The idea seemed plausible to me, melanin - brown eyes, not melanin - blue eyes, blue eyes plus yellow fat, green eyes. And it was such a lovely concept, you could make fun of people calling green eyes beautiful by stating that they just had fat eyes! biggrin (I'd like to state at this point that I have greyish/green eyes and like green eyed women. smiley )
And now you've taken this away from me.
Oh, well, I'll put it in my box of faux-science and use it with people who I don't care if I mislead. devil

And before I forget, great entry! ok
